  • Geographic-based information technology management system
    Patent number: 6216130
    Abstract: Systems and methods for managing geographic and other data structures. Using an administrator application, an administrator identifies geographic data structures deemed to be of interest to an organization and compiles associated reference information. The reference information includes retrieval addresses and display information specifying the display format of the data structures. The administrator can establish relationships between the referenced geographic data structures, tabular data, or other data, which define the manner in which multiple data structures are to be displayed. These relationships can be expressed in geographic themes that specify an application and associated geographic and tabular data structures that can be displayed by the application. A user application allows the user to select geographic information of interest.
